Application filed January 26,1927. Serial mfiea'is i. I

This invention relates particularly to that type of bed canopy designed to fit in a win- 'dow opening when the lower sash'is; raised,

whereby the'occupant of the bed'may be 6 shut off from the air of the room in which the bed is situated and have an abundant supply of fresh air from the exterior of the building.

It is one object ofthe inventionrto pro- 10' vicle a device of the character indicated that may be quickly and easily collapsed for transportation and expanded to fit in a window frame.

It is another object of the invention to IS provide a device of the character, indicated I that maybe readily attached to a window frame without the use ofscrews or any de- .7 vice that will injure :the said frame. It is also an object ofthe invention to provide a 20 device of the character indicated that will be Figure 1 is a detailplan view of a por tion of the frame when assembled. V

Referring now more particularly to the drawing, I showKa-t 1 a portion of the canopy frame comprising a bar jointed'as at v 1 for adjustment and having end portions hinged as at 2 and3f whereby they may be swung into parallel relation to each other as at 2 and 3, these ends being perforated as at 4. V Arranged in each part 1, 2 and 1, 3 is a a spring 5, having itsv one end mounted on r v the cetnral part of part 1 and its other end extending along the inner surfaces of the adjacent part 2 and 3-and bearing there- 7 against whereby to force the two parts 2 and 3 in opposite directions to each other.

At 6 are shown supporting bars having adjustable connection with parts'2 and 3 by means of bolts as 7 engaging the perfor- V ations 1. On'the. free ends of the bars 6 v are mounted shoes as at-8 adapted to engage the guideways 9 in the window frame 10. On the bars 6" and adjacent the shoes;

Figure 1 is a perspective illustration ofimproved canopy mounted 111 21 w ndow 8- are mounted vertical bars 11 by means' of pivots 12, whereby to" space the frame from the stoolxthe des reddistance, these bars or by means of which ajcanvas or covering 14 may be secured in place. ,7 7

On the lower end of" each bar cured a foot 15 extending laterally a dislegs 11 beingprovided with z'butto ns as 13 11 a St:

tance as at 16 to engage the inner surface of the window frame, and thence, backwardly and outwardly as at 17-to engagethe outer surface of the window casing and resting upon the window stool 18 as shown. Con: nectedto the lower end ofeach legll is a brace bar 1-9 by means of pivot 20, the bar 5 i being attached to supporting bar "6 by the ad uStable fastening 7.

only necessary to unfold the various-parts connectinglthe bars 6 6 to the parts'2 and 3, straightening out the legs 11, and secur- .ing the braces 19 in position, after which the.

covering let isplaced inposition and buttoned as described. The engagement of the shoes 8 with the guides 9 under pressure of the springfi effectually holds the upper and, the legsll with their bottom parts 17 When it is desired to use the canopy itiis' portion of the device against displacement,

"and braces 19 effectually supports the canopy in the'desired: extended position.

It is to be understood, of course, that While I haveiherein shown and described but I one specificembodiment of the invention,

changes in form, construction,"and method of operation may be made within the scope V i .901 w i of the appended claims. I claim:

silient means for urging said shoes into engagement with said frame, legs mounted on said frame adjacent said shoes adapted to engage the window stool and casing, and brace elements, connecting the legs and I a m -;"'*100 2. canopy- 0f the character descrlbed, a 'comprlslng 'a frame, window frame, engag frame. a '7 1.
